Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. e, 1906.

Application filed August 29, 1905. SerialNm 276,262.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR KnNNoN TAY- LOR, a citizen of the United States, residin at Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented a new and specification. v

This invention relates to cribs. or beds for infants, and has for an object to rovide a crib embodying new and improved features pf convenience, durability, utility, and sightiness.

A further object of the invention is to pro: vide a cribwhich may be placed above a bed atnight and be supported on the side-rails and. with the infant in such position that it may be conveniently attended to without leaving the bed and when not in use the crib may be folded and stored beneath the bed or in some similar place.

A further objectv of the invention is to provide a crib which for day use may be suspended from the footboard of a bed ,a partlyopen bureau-drawer, or'some like piece of furniture. I

. With these arid other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be "hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawin s, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a pers ective bed and bearingupon the side rails; F1 2 is a perspective view of the improved bed suspended from the footboard of a bed. Fig.

3 is a perspective view ofpart of the framework of the crib embodying the hooks for suspending. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the leg members. Fig. 5 is a detail transverse sectional view showing the application of'the crib to a bed when the rail and spindles are not in the same vertical line.

application is adapted to be mounted upon an above a bed of ordinary construction fingers 20, proportioned -12. The le s are braced in any approved I having the footboard. filled in any manner,

as by the spindles 11, with the side rails 12, and supported on the le s 13.

In its preferred embo iment the improved crib comprises a body 14, constructed in any approved manner and from any approved material. One side of the body is hinged, as at 16, at its lower edge to swing outwardly and downwardly and 13 provided with any approved form of latching device, as 17 '17,

To the ends of the body are hinged the leg members, ,(shown at Fig. 4,) as by the hinges 18, and with the legs 19 terminatin in the to engage the rails manner, as y the braces 21, and the upper part is provided with transversely-outstandmg curved portions 22, proportioned to bear against the corners of the body and hold the crib firm, and a centrally-disposed curved -may also be formed thereon.

The hooksmay be hooked over. foot of a bed with the body of the crib either inside 'or outside, or it may be hooked over the front of a partly-open bureau-drawer or upon any other convenient and accessible object and when so attached forms a convenient daybed for an infant, and garments arid fabrics may, Y if desired,' be hung upon the curved bars, (represented by 22 and 23.) A box 27 will alsobe conveniently attached, which may be used for medicines or any articles usually used in the care of an infant.

With the bed applied as in Fig. 1 it is obvious that a person may care for an infant in the crib by simply sitting u in the bed and that the crib may be moved Yo at the extremities of the legs is proper y adngitudinallypf' the bed to the position most convenient, and

justed to the bed'. .Whennot. desired. for fuse, the crib with the legs folded may "bestored beneath the bed or in like position.- When the foot-rail of thebed and the spin '5 -dles are not inthe same vertical line, the rod 26 may be bent out from-the crib, as shown in 5, toholdthe crib-body level. f aving 'thusdescrib d the invention, what isclaimed is I I re -1.'
